Aug 5, 2008 The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
~J.R.R. Tolkien
Sung by Bilbo, as the leaves the Shire, having given up the ring and life as he knew it. It seems somewhat appropriate to post on my birthday, especially as one of my gifts was a book of Tolkien maps. Thank you all for being part of the blessings on my road!

Happy Birthday and Many Years to you, Laura! I have always liked that poem of Bilbo's. Nice choice.
Thank you!!
Happy Birthday and God grant you many, many years!
And yes, while I must confess LotR is not a series of book I particularly enjoyed, I recall that song. And thank you for your blessings on this road of life too.
Laura - I DREAD sending E to school. Just dread it. I plan to sit in my car and cry for a good while when it happens.
Well...I cried....but not in front of the kids! The quiet house was really strange!
